Congo vs Rwanda: African Court to hear Kinshasa's case
Congolese M23 rebels are seen as they withdraw from the 3 antennes location in Kibumba, near Goma, North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo on December 23, 2022.
The African Court has scheduled a public hearing for February 12 on a petition filed by the Democratic Republic of Congo against Rwanda for allegedly supporting M23 rebels in the ongoing conflict in eastern Congo, which has reached alarming levels in recent weeks.
The petition has been on the court's register since August 2023, as the war between M23 rebels and government forces in the mineral-rich Kivu province escalated, claiming hundreds of lives and displacing hundreds of thousands.
